Aventuras Andes is a small, quality guide service that specializes in treks, whitewater and bluewater expeditions. We have been aventuring in South America for the past decade, pursuing treks off the beaten path and first descents on some of the most exciting rivers in the world. We offer a variety of trips from "mild to wild" in Peru, Chile, Argentina and Bolivia. South America has it all—the world's longest mountain range, its deepest canyons, the largest remaining expanse of tropical and temperate rainforests, and unsurpassed biodiversity of unusual flora and fauna awaiting your discovery. Culturally, a diverse melting pot of African, European, and Asian immigrants mix with native Americans descended from ancient civilizations to form a sympatico Latin community waiting to welcome you. Come join us for the journey of a lifetime!

We strive to have a positive impact on the places we visit. Our programs are designed to immerse you in a foreign culture that will stretch and challenge your physical abilities and imagination. By employing local resources and guides, we hope to enhance your cultural experience, broaden your perspective on peoples of the developing world, and leave you with a more empathetic world view. As the advance of civilization threatens the very places we visit, your tourist dollars have an impact where they count the most—in the local community. By spending locally, we provide tangible proof that eco-tourism is a sustainable source of income from untrammeled nature. We are privileged to travel in

environmentally sensitive areas and take an active role [in their protection] by promoting a minimum impact camping ethic. We prefer small groups where our friendly guides do their utmost to ensure your safety and enjoyment during the trip. We hope you return home enervated and refreshed, reveling in your new found friends, memorable adventures, and discoveries.
